But, when the carrots attack, don't let me be the one with the knife.
And yet you think you could take a cheetah...
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
No comment.
...without weapons, I could easily kill a carrot. Stomping on a carrot is not exactly rocket science, and it is both smaller and slower than a cheetah. It is just with weapons in hand that I become useless.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I thought a shotgun was the zombie-killing weapon of choice. Or is that video game logic versus movie logic?
Though if we're talking about cleaving parts off, a battle axe is probably the way to go. Though a katana is good choice too and probably handles better. The axe would just have less maintenance issues.

A shotgun is more likely to take off body parts without getting close to the zombie, so probably.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Battle axes have so much momentum, though -- recovery's a bitch.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I just wanna walk onto the train in the morning carrying one of those, with a crazy look in my eyes....
Carrying a fake sledgehammer got all the sidewalk traffic in Vegas, including the drunks, to give me plenty of extra elbow room walking down the street. If I weren't afraid of misunderstandings with the police, I'd take it with me everywhere.
I'm reasonably confident that I could crack someone's skull and squoosh the braiiiiiin underneath with a steel sledgehammer, but it's all too easy to imagine getting a sword or axe stuck halfway through a torso on a wild swing and ending up as zombie chow.

We used to bring a real sledgehammer with us to softball tournaments, to use for warmups instead of a weighted bat. The opposing teams didn't like that much.

Heh. I remember one of the WW writers talking about having several squad cars show up when he was walking down the street wearing a fake sword while in costume on Halloween.
The opposing teams didn't like that much.
I wonder why?

Hey. New board.
I'd rather have a well-balanced baseball bat than a sledgehammer, for zombies or peaple. Less likely to miss and hit my own leg, crushing leg bones necessary for the running in the opposite direction that is actually my preferred method of dealing with attacking hordes of the undead.
